Chris through and through was a professional who understands the system and will prepare you on what might happen and will happen. He's honest and gets straight to the point of the situation. I had been dealing with a child's medical payment lawsuit that I should've never been sued for as well as TX AG's Office mistakenly setting up wrong child support payments amounts that without Chris, the issue would've never gotten resolved. Grateful that I found Chris and I highly recommend him to anyone going through hard co-parenting times.

Chris Is the best lawyer I could have ever been lucky enough to work with. The idea of getting a divorce was so hard to even think about but Chris made it very comfortable for me because he understood the difficulty , the decisions and how brave one must be as to leave hard marriage. He was there with understanding and helped me through every hoop. I have learned a lot from my experience and I would thoroughly recommend Chris if you are married to someone who is very manipulating. It’s gonna be hard no matter what but it’s really important that you have somebody like Chris in your corner to help you. He knows best how to get you through this process. You can put your trust in Chris. So, Hang in there , it will get better and when it’s over , it’s very important for you to have someone who knows the ropes as to how to take very good care of you and your concerns. Chris will do his best for you. He did this for me. .

I am grateful to have had the support of a fantastic attorney in the matter of my uncontested divorce. Chris Merritt made the process painless and quick. He is smart, experienced, thorough, approachable, and kind. His rate is fair. I recommend him highly.

Mr. Merritt is brilliant in the courtroom and works extremely hard for his clients. I saw this firsthand. Highly recommended.

Chris is a rare find in his field. He was very consultative in helping me find a solution for my family issue. He walked me through each option and stage of the process. He was forthcoming with which route was the best route for me. The route we chose for me ultimately paid him less than all others. He truly puts his clients before himself.

David was such a big help! Carolyn explained every detail of my forms. Well recommend!!!! If I could give them more then 5 stars I sure would!!!

Carolyn Young has an extensive working knowledge of family law. She is extremely dedicated to each and every client, while providing excellent results that are fair, ethical, and timely. I highly recommend her with your legal needs.

I've worked with David there in the office. They have a tremendous attention to detail, and are fine people to work with. Genuinely nice people.

I hired Carolyn about 10 years ago, paid my $4000 retainer and she used almost the entire amount ($40 returned unused) in just serving him with papers, phone calls to me. Nothing was accomplished for $4000. I had to hire another attorney and pay again before I got my case settled. Very upset and a waste of money I didn't have.

Appreciated having Daryl in my corner. Would highly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult family matter.

They made my divorce not as stressful and supported me in every decision I had made. They explained the process and all the steps involved. I would highly recommend this firm.

Daryl Weinman is an exceptional attorney. She is professional, current on all the laws and experienced. I have used her lawyer services and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her

I feel the process took longer than necessary. My attorney was very nice and made me feel comfortable.

If you are facing a difficult divorce, I highly recommend Weinman and Associates. They work together as a team and are very responsive and helpful. At all times we felt confident we were getting the best legal representation possible. Casey Kelley represented my son and he worked diligently to protect my son’s rights as a father. We couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. In addition, the entire office staff is helpful and friendly. We always felt we were valued as clients and that they really understand our situation and truly cared.

Look no further than Jeff Barnett and his law practice to assist with your legal needs. He is worth every penny and extremely professional. I reached out to Jeff to assist with a frivolous lawsuit filed against me when no other attorney would help. Not only did he get my lawsuit dismissed, he helped with getting sanctions awarded against the plaintiffs attorney for not doing his due diligence before filing a frivolous lawsuit against an innocent party. I will certainly use Jeff again and recommend him and his practice highly without reservations.

I have recently needed some legal help with wills, estate planning, financial advice and power of attorney. All at Barnett & Leuty have been accessible and very responsive to all my questions. They made the whole process easy and were able to accommodate my time frame. I can not rate them highly enough. They are more than just a team of experienced legal professionals they actually care about their clients. You are in very safe hands with Barnett & Leuty!

I refer many of my clients to Jeff Barnett for wills, trusts and other estate planning needs. Jeff always provides education and clarity to my clients. They all walk away feeling confident and educated that their needs and wishes are taken care of. Jeff and I have a great partnership and I value him as an extension of my team.

I have used Jeff on several occasions now over several years. In Commercial landlord disputes, as an advisor on several personal family law matters, and also for collections for a vendor that didn't want to refund our money for materials returned to them. Jeff is also assisting me draw up a personal will. It is nice having legal council that can handle so many elements of my legal needs. Thanks Jeff!

I refer our clients at Accountability for Business to Jeff Barnett for entity formation including series LLCs, as well as estate planning and family law.

I am very grateful for the legal guidance I received from Kirker Davis LLP. They showed compassion, understanding, and were very responsive to all my questions and needs. Demi has been my Legal Counsel for some time and she has always given me the best and honest answers. Her and Lianna took my legal matters and made them very personal and yet professional. I truly am grateful for their time and effort. Family is everything and they take that to heart.

Candice, Ashley, and Laurie are highly professional, strategic, thorough, and above all intelligent. They helped me stay organized (which is no small feat), gracefully pivoted in the face of challenges, and provided emotional clarity in times of distress, even when those challenges and distressful situations were due to missteps by me. In my case, Candice routinely exhibited prescience regarding which matters deserved focus and which matters were distractions, which saved time, and money. Ashley expertly delivered to the court clear, concise, and highly effective summaries of complex topics. More than once, Candice and Ashley noticed and brought to light critical details that easily would have been missed and that had a huge impact. I couldn't say enough about how much this team helped me through my ordeal.

Excellent service! I contacted the Kirker | Davis law firm with a matter outside of their scope of practice. And yet, I received an immediate response from Carly Banner, with the helpful information and a great source for legal services. Very helpful! Thank you, Carly!!!

My experience with the law firm was excellent. The legal advice I received helped to clarify my options and guide discussions that ultimately led to a positive outcome for my family. I highly recommend this law firm.

Demi and her team were extremely professional, considerate and helpful during my divorce. Demi was extremely thorough with her professional guidance and advice and I felt comforted knowing she was protecting my and my best interest. Their communication was fast and I felt I had a team that cared about the outcome of my case. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The BEST FAMILY Law Attorney I have ever worked with. 1 year ago I was blindsided with a separation and custody battle. It all started with my ex wanting to leave making false child abuse and domestic abuse claims against me. She was threatening to have me never see the kids and specifically telling me that she would 'destroy my life'. Ryan Dougay was highly recommended from multiple attorney friends of mine. I walked into his office thinking I was totally ruined financially, in my relationship with my kids and with my reputation. Ryan went above and beyond. He came up with multiple strategies implemented them and within 8 weeks I was in a position to get full custody of my children. That being said, Ryan also helped pull in the reins of resentment and 'divorce frustration' and guide me on making the best choice for myself, family and kids in a post divorce world. As it was told to me 1 year ago - 'I you have a case that can be won, Ryan will win it'. 100% Truth

Hire him..he's worth every penny

I highly recommend Ryan Dougay for custody issues. My daughter hired him to represent her in custody of her 2 children. As a mother fighting for her children and a grandmother having to watch, it was a very difficult time. After meeting with Ryan, he put our minds at ease. He gave us straight forward answers and explained what would happen. He believed in my daughter and had my granddaughters best interest at heart. My daughter got her girls back and if it wasn't for Ryan, she would still be fighting to see them. If you are reading this review, you are searching for a great attorney to fight for your children, I would call Ryan. I am so happy and relieved that we did.

I was extremely fortunate to have been referred to Ryan. Once I hired him my confidence immediately skyrocketed and the outcome was far better than I could have ever imagined. If a friend of yours referred you to Ryan, then they have just given you a lifeline.

I highly recommend Ryan as a competent, skilled, and effective family law attorney. Going through a divorce is never going to be a fun experience, but Ryan's extensive knowledge of Texas family law and good humor made my own personal journey much easier and productive than I had anticipated being possible. He presented me with clear and understandable options that, ultimately, led to a good and fair outcome for both concerned, and also helped me navigate a process that, without his assistance, would have been otherwise even more painful and challenging. You would be wise to consider him if you find yourself having to face such a difficult life change.

I had been calling lawyers for weeks with no one answering or returning calls. I called Walters Gilbreath and right from the start I felt like they cared and wanted to help. Kylie answered the phone and I was put through to Sheree then to Brian Walters. He took the the time to answer all of my questions and give me some good advice. I would definitely recommend them for their professionalism, caring, and sage advice.

Slav and Sydney both are amazing! Slav listens and is honest about expectations. He is confident and direct. I am so grateful to him and his team! I asked for a shark and got the best great white in the ocean. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a professional, strong law team on their side.

Was represented by Walters Gilbreath in a divorce case. (Robert Tsai) He is strategically brilliant and equally compassionate. He is the only team you need.

Jonathan Hassell was focused on our child custody case from the moment we met. Our daughters safety was my main concern and our end result from litigation was more than satisfactory. He was always available no matter the time of day, weekends it didn’t matter. I was never alone through this process. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to help us through these difficult issues.

Priyanka Bins was outstanding. I was amazed by her knowledge of the law and work ethic. She responded to emails, texts, and calls promptly and with a great attitude. She helped me maintain my sanity during a difficult time. I felt confident with her as my counsel through the entire process.

I would definitely recommend them for their professionalism, caring, and sage advice.

    Slav and Sydney both are amazing! Slav listens and is honest about expectations. He is confident and direct. I am so grateful to him and his team! I asked for a shark and got the best great white in the ocean. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a professional, strong law team on their side.

    Was represented by Walters Gilbreath in a divorce case. (Robert Tsai) He is strategically brilliant and equally compassionate. He is the only team you need.

    Jonathan Hassell was focused on our child custody case from the moment we met. Our daughters safety was my main concern and our end result from litigation was more than satisfactory. He was always available no matter the time of day, weekends it didn’t matter. I was never alone through this process. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to help us through these difficult issues.

Trying to go through the name change process on my own turned into a nightmare. I hired CHA Law Group to take care of it and, from the initial phone consult to getting my certified copies of the name change order, it was stress free. Communication was excellent and they were friendly and professional throughout the process.

The consultation cost $125. However, I spent 35 mins trying to explain the custody order he had access to the entire call. Don’t waste your money.

Not sure why google isnt showing my review, but i am going to reword it then: I hired Will Shindler for a family law case. All I can say is I had a good case with good proofs, pictures, etc. He was very submissive to the opposing party and disrespectful to me and my case. He would ask me to do everything the oppossing party was asking for and would not really fight for me. Also, In family matters you have to be professional with everyone involved, these are painful moments for both parties yet he was heard many times laughing it up with the opposing party's lawyer, so much so that the oppossing party plaintiff noticed it too. I felt like all my money went down the drain, not to mention the emotional pain left after a "professional" didn't want to fight for you.

After we adopted our two children internationally, we wanted to "re-adopt" them in Texas so they could obtain Texas birth certificates. Not many family law attorneys even know this is an option for internationally adopted children. But Christine knew, and also knew exactly how to get it done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Christine!

The CHA Law firm went out of their way when my son was dying of cancer. He only had two weeks to live when we contacted them. They spoke with him on the phone, wrote his will, came out to the house to ensure he had all his faculties, brought witnesses to the will signing at his house, and was warm and caring during his last days. As a father, you couldn’t ask for more.

I truly appreciate all the help Scott Morgan provided to me as my divorce attorney. The outcome of my case was very favorable for me, both from financial and children custody standpoint. As much as his legal guidance was crucial, the psychological and moral support he gave me was also invaluable. During the divorce I was getting all kinds of different opinions from friends and family, and Scott was the person that let me stay strong on my course. He was always available for communication, and very promptly, which was of great importance to me. Sometimes I had to react very quickly to my now-ex-spouse moves, and prompt response from my attorney was critical. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Scott as a divorce attorney. He guided me though a challenging process and was spot on with advise and counsel. He's all business but very personable and professional. His insights were great and he worked really well with opposing counsel. His rates are fair and his judgment solid.

You could not find a better divorce attorney than Scott. He has been professional, honest, and attentive throughout my divorce. He has always treated me with respect and handled my case in a very timely and sensitive manner. He made sure to fully explain the process and help me through a very difficult time.

I had a consultation with Mr. Morgan a couple of weeks ago. He was very knowledgeable of the legal aspects of my specific situation and he took the time to explain everything so that I had a clear understanding of all my options going forward. I found him very helpful and would use his services again...though I hope I won't ever have to.

Scott represented me in a very professional and efficient manner. In my case, he effectively developed custom custody provisions that allowed flexibility to all parties' mutual benefit. He is very easy to talk to and provides mind easing advice when things sometimes get emotionally charged between the parties. Scott moved my case along rapidly to a fair conclusion, and he has always been and continues to be very responsive to client communications.

I had initial consultations with 3 divorce attorneys, and within minutes of my first meeting with Melissa I knew she was the one I would retain. From the beginning, she gave me very honest and accurate information, which helped me to have realistic expectations. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of family law, very well organized, and a great communicator. It was obviously not her first rodeo, and as it was mine, I found her calm demeanor very reassuring. She never flinched when opposing counsel delayed, postured, and made unreasonable requests. She was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire course of my case, as was as her paralegal. I also felt like she did a good job of presenting options that would minimize my legal fees. My divorce unfortunately ended up in court. Melissa did a great job at the trial, and I had a very favorable outcome. I highly recommend Melissa!

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive, efficient, and prevailing lawyer than Melissa Williams for my divorce. She helped me wrap this process up in about 5 months or less no matter the challenge we faced. She always respected my wishes but always made sure I was aware of all my options that were in my best interest. I am forever thankful!

I had a wonderful experience with Melissa. She was understanding and thorough and helped me to achieve my desired result during a custody case. I loved how incredible knowledgeable she is. I could not recommend her enough.

I have had the honor to know Melissa for nearly 15 years. She is wonderful; compassionate when needed, and tough when required! I treasure her input to assist me in making critical decisions that can affect me for many years ahead. Our moral values are aligned, and most important, I trust her. Matter of fact, I have had the opportunity to refer Melissa to several Friends over the years and everyone has been just as grateful for her professional assistance. I would be happy to refer her to anyone.

Melissa Williams is the best divorce attorney in Austin, Texas. Melissa is professional, organized, and highly respected. I'm grateful for her help.
